I want to do this so bad! I was so upset to find Ikea doesn’t sell this any more. Anyone else have other desks similar to this? I’m in less of a modern space, but I figure I can paint or work with something as needed.

Thank you so much for sharing your vanity hack! I recently inherited a beautiful antique dressing table from my grandmother. My challenge is adding lights around the table without taking away from the antique charm. I don’t like regular ‘makeup mirrors’, they dont provide enough light! Your post inspired my solution. I am going to mount long led strips on a base with hinges from the back sides of the mirror-I will be able to reach around each side and pull the lights out when I need to use them, then tuck them away when done.

I have been in the same boat looking for the perfect vanity for years. The one I love is several hundreds of dollars, and not something I envision spending that much money on! I am determined to recreate this awesome vanity you made. Since I am not the most handiest person I could use some pointers. Can you please explain the lights that you bought? How are they powered? Please help…

Do you remember if the side panels had identical holes? I just got this and am wondering if one of my side panels is defective. It has two holes on the top but zero holes on the bottom(the tan side.) (The other side panel has two holes on the top and four holes on the underside.) In case mine is defective, is this something I can take a drill to or do I need to take it back since I’d be drilling 4 new holes entirely?

The Vika Veine has been around for at least a year now, I have been saving up do this same project for my fiancee as a surprise gift, only to find out that 3 out of the 4 IKEAS in our NY 40 mile range stopped carrying it , but still one of them has it! I will post pictures when I make it this weekend!

Any idea on how to get a table like this that folds up completely? So it can be portable? I love love love this hack and I want one bad!!! I have been looking everywhere for something like this and this is the first I have found.Thanks for posting it!!!
